Giant, Scott or KTM

Hi all,
I've decided to get into MTB a bit more. Which brand name for an entry-level Cross country bike would be a good choice? Doing some trails in hills and off-road in the lower Alps.
Thanks
M

Oh yes, I am willing to spend up to 1000 euros.

You pick the bike, not the brand.

As I assume you're in Europe, have a look at Decathlon, 2 decent XC offerings
https://www.decathlon.fr/p/velo-vtt-xc-100-27-5-eagle-noir-et-fluo/_/R-p-168215
or for a bit less
https://www.decathlon.fr/p/velo-vtt-xc-50-29-eagle-bleu/_/R-p-313013?mc=8575904&c=BLEU

Both are well specced and excellent value at their price point.

I know about that. Tested a few and made up my mind.. the Giant Talon 1 GE 2020. Took it for an hour test run... Bloody nice. Thanks for giving me some feedback.. Have a lovely day.
